Pornography is typically defined as printed or visual media depicting explicit sexual subject matter intended to stimulate arousal. While softcore pornography contains nudity or partial nudity, hardcore pornography graphically depicts sexual acts and penetration. Pornography is increasingly accessible and appealing due to technology, with the "Triple A" factors of affordability, accessibility, and anonymity fueling its widespread use, especially among adolescents. Excessive pornography use can negatively impact the brain and reward system as well as relationships, self-perceptions, and attitudes toward sexuality. However, some argue moderate use in committed relationships could potentially have therapeutic benefits by enhancing intimacy and communication.
